It took me a while to inform Athletic, but it all came to nothing. At least at the public level. I don’t know if in the private sphere the promise is fulfilled, but it gives me the feeling that it is not. Now it is too late to know it from the main character’s own mouth.
YoBased on the information offered yesterday by the Bilbao club, any rojiblanco follower will know that it has been 40 years since the current Athletic anthem was premiered. A work created in 1982 by Carmelo Bernaola based on the arrangement and combination of other old songs belonging to the “musical heritage of the club”. The lyrics are provided by Antton Zubikarai.
mAntxon told me, as I knew him from our years at the DEIA newspaper, that the Athletic manager at the time promised him the insignia, I think gold and diamonds, of the club for writing lyrics to the new song. I’m still waiting for him from our last meeting. There was an opportunity to pay off the debt during an action in the red and white code that Bernaola himself was within old San Mamés, but it was decided to leave the matter for another time.
Nope.o Antxon wanted me to press the subject further. There it is. He, someone who prefers not to be noticed, confessed to me more than once that it was enough to give the lyrics to the song and listen to it in the choir at San Mamés.
THOUGHOthers would have claimed theirs. He is not. With or without insignia, the lyrics of the song where the lions jump in San Mamés are by Antton Zubikarai. One big.
